Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp (AQN) has undergone significant transformation in recent years, primarily shifting its focus from renewable energy to regulated utilities. While the company has faced challenges, including overleveraging and management changes, recent updates suggest a stabilizing outlook. Experts indicate that there is potential for profitability growth, especially with new management steering the company towards a more predictable business model. Analysts recognize the importance of this strategic shift, as AQN is now seen as cheaper compared to peers in the utility sector, making it an interesting play for future growth and income. However, caution remains as some analysts recommend monitoring the company's progress before committing, given its recent history of dividend cuts and restructuring efforts.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jul 28/20, Up 7%) Has fallen out of favour, but he is not sure why. One of the worst performers for 2021 for his fund, but still a believer in the company.

WATCH

Sold on valuation. Good business. Mostly US focused. He'll keep it on his radar. Right now, prefers other exposure in that space.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 13/20, Up 3%) Still likes it. It's pulled back with the entire renewable space, so this is a great time to enter. Two-thirds of business are regulated utilities and the rest is renewables. The latter benefits from the US green trend. Pays an attractive 4.5% dividend that the company has just risen 10%. The company expects to grow earnings 8-10% annually in coming 4-5 years.

PARTIAL BUY

The Texas power outage was somewhat of a temporary set-back. These do happen. Short term negatives on companies you like just mean it’s a good time to get in. It is a good time to start building a position in the sector.

BUY

A great way to play the US expansion into renewable power in the coming decade. The valuation has risen, but took a dip during the Texas freeze last winter (was a buying opportunity). The stock is still compelling to buy. Likes it. The renewable stocks ran ahead of themselves in January-February, pricing in too many years of growth, but this correction was healthy. Valuations are still not cheap, but long-term returns still look good. Also consider Boralex and Northland Power.

BUY

It is a good way to play renewable energy. It gives you a nice balance of renewable and non-renewable. They pay a good dividend. Their spending will be 60-70% into renewable in the future. Sometimes money is invested into renewable energy just to be seen doing it.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick May 13/20, Up 14%) In 2020, chose names that could hold in during an uncertain time. Plans to increase dividend by about 10% this year, possibly mid-high single digit growth going forward. Benefits from de-carbonization.

BUY

You really have to own some renewable power. High growth area. AQN is a good way to play. His top pick in the hybrid renewable sector. Has non-renewables, but its growth projects are all renewable. Valuation is below peers. Yield is around 3.5%.

BUY

She continues to hold it. The utility space has pulled back (AQN is down 15%) because of rising yields. AQN pays a yield under 4%. Its growth outlook is strong for years to come, and AQN enjoy robust cash flow primarily in the U.S. AQN'S dividend that will rise 10% this year, though that growth may moderate in years to come as AQN invests more in its business. Renewable energy remains a good investment, though the group was overextended coming into 2020; she was waiting for a pullback and it's happened.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks As of March 8, this Canadian wind and solar power producer has tumbled nearly 15% off its high of $22.67 of just a month ago. The good news is that AQN‘s PE has slipped to 18.4x, which trades below the industry average of 19.2x. In addition to the current rotation, another factor pressuring Algonquin is last week’s Q4 report in which its EPS of $0.21 fell just a penny short of the street’s expected $0.22. Similarly, AQN’s adjusted EPS for the full year of $0.64 fell shy of management’s guidance of $0.65-0.70. Not a disaster, since Q4 EPS and revenues rose year-over-year so AQN stock is an oversold stock. Read 3 Overdone and Oversold Stocks for our full analysis.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

The catalyst for the sector is whether or not the Biden administration will be supportive of green energy. The Trudeau government already is. There's more upside to this stock. With sector rotation out of tech, you want to look for an entry point. We're going to see higher growth opportunities for renewables, so you want exposure.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Short/medium outlook for renewable energy The recent harsh winter weather in Texas shows that even green power can be effected. But now this market rotation is a short-term blip for green energy stock, and so is a good opportunity to buy. Corporations and governments will continue to demand green energy and investors want ESG. This is a solid, long-term trend that favours this sector.

HOLD

Allan Tong’s Discover Picks The laggard is Algonquin , up only 11% since October 30, but its future growth is assured. Read TITLE DEL POST for our full analysis.

BUY

AQN vs. BEP.UN Likes it. Leveraged to renewable infrastructure build in the US. Very steady utility business. Better choice than BEP.UN at this time, based on valuations.
